Why you chose PhD Nutrition to officially endorse:
I’ve Known Mark Bowering for many years and have always asked his advice on every aspect of my training and nutritional plans. When he informed me he was beginning PhD Nutrition, I never doubted the products would be designed with quality and innovation.
Describe the different styles of training you do:
I lift weights 4 times weekly, mainly focussing on the major, strength building movements like squats, dead lifts and presses. I also do between 2-4 sessions of rugby training during the week which include fitness and ball skills, with of course 1 match per week in season.
Future aims and objectives within your chosen sport:
After being well on the road to turning professional as a junior, I had a severe car accident in January 2005 and fractured my spine in 3 places but fortunately after 2 operations and metalwork inserted for 11 months I made a great recovery and was back playing at the end of January 2006. I am now 23 years old and I’m playing semi-pro in Australia for Western Suburbs Red Devils in Illawarra, New South Wales but I would like to progress to the next level and play NRL in Australia or Super League in England.
Thanks Andrew, all the best in 2008.
